Passions

 -------------- CHALLENGE --------------  

 

 

To Experience Any Ritual 

Uninformed as to the Significance 

of the Words and Symbols contained therein

 is likened to going to 

a subtitled foreign language film 

blind folded.

 

 -------------- CHALLENGE --------------    

 

Wisdom

 is not a Blessing One Receives 

Without Struggle. 

 

-------------- FALLOW ABYSS --------------  

 

  

 It never ceases to amaze me 

how Masterful Freemasonic Ritual is

 at planting Seeds of Insight within those 

whose Soils are ready to receive them.  

It frustrated me though to see 

how many precious seeds go uncultivated 

by minds and hearts yearning to grow 

but who remain untilled 

by modern Freemasonic methods of sharing Light.  

It's very disheartening to see entire generations 

go to barren graves 

never knowing the Masonic Light that is right there before them.  

I sadly accept it however.  

There exist those who have chosen to go

 into that dark fallow abyss 

because they refuse to Seek Light 

beyond what they are taught.  

They have not chosen wisely 

and their crops yield nothing but chaff. 

For others, 

these Tillers of Mankind, 

their contributions continue to feed Generation of Men 

long after their spades initially broke new grounds 

by their efforts.  

Their harvest continue to grow 

with every new acre

 tilled by those who follow their efforts.

-------------- CHARACTER --------------  

 

 

 

Perfect only means "flawless" 

to men who know no better. 

 

Perfection means "mature, complete, suitable" 

to men who have taken the time 

to better know.

-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  

 

 

Without Nurturing Maturity, 

all that you Truly Have 

is a Nut 

with Nothing More 

than Unrealized Potential.

  -------------- SEEK IT! --------------  

 

 

 KEEP CALM 

and

Seek Enlightenment 

 

-------------- MYTH --------------  

 

“Poets are simply those 

who have made a profession and a lifestyle 

of being in touch with their bliss.”
― Joseph Campbell,  

The Power of Myth

Oh the tales to tell!

 

 -------------- SEEK MEANING --------------  

 

 

Ritual 

is more Meaningful 

to those who Seek it 

when they Earn the Rite Initially. 

Those Who are Provided it 

without this Condition 

shall Never place upon it its True Worth.

 

-------------- THE ACID TEST --------------  

 

THE LOST MASTER'S WORD ACID TEST

 

When you want to know if you have found The Lost Master's Word, use what you believe you have found to:

 

1) Travel Masterfully,

2) Work Masterfully,

3) Earn Masterfully,

4) Support Masterfully,

5) Contribute Masterfully,

6) And do all this all WITHOUT the assistance of others!

 

When you CONSISTENTLY succeed Masterfully, you found it. When you don't, you didn't.

ACID TEST

 

-------------- BOOK REVIEW --------------  

 

 "This book is filled with discussions that I and others have had 

with Brother Nagy over the years. 

We've all benefited from their 

straightforward insights and thoughtful "Light". 

The questions posed within each 

have never been thought to be asked 

by many Freemasons. 

For those of you who are Masons though 

and who have already raised these very questions repeatedly, 

only to receive unbelievably unsatisfactory answers, 

you will find delightful satisfaction in your reading.
I highly recommend using the materials in this book 

for education programs in your Lodge. 

Additionally, I recommend you either buy two copies 

or make sure that the Brothers you perform 

these discourses in lodge with purchase their own copies 

so that you can all perform them effortlessly and accurately."
